    In fact, coolgame and Electronic Arts still have some connections.

    For example, the game "Bejeweled", which is currently active by more than 100 million people every week, was produced by Electronic Arts in the future.

    There is also the recently popular "Zuma" series in coolgame, which was also a product of Electronic Arts in the past.

    In the previous life, Electronic Arts saw the rapid development of social platforms and mobile games, so it acquired a lot of game studios, and began to develop in these fields, and soon became a giant.

    Thinking about it now, if Baye Ventures uses coolgame as a bargaining chip, then Electronic Arts, which is originally interested in casual games, may actually agree to merge and establish the world's largest game company.

    Hoffman guessed well, Xiao Qi was thinking about the price.

    For those European and American giants, Xiao Qi has always planned to knock down as many as he has, the more the better.

    Coolgame will definitely not be for sale in Xiao Qi¡¯s hands, but it can¡¯t be sold cheaply either.

    Don¡¯t tell me that the financial crisis is coming. If you don¡¯t sell it early, the valuation will drop.

    If you don¡¯t buy it, what does it have to do with you whether the valuation drops or not?

    Besides, Xiao Qi knows that only by scouring the sand can you find the gold inside. The closer the financial crisis comes, the more valuable those good things will be.

    ????????????????????????????????? Otherwise, giants such as Facebook, Twitter, Alibaba, etc., would they still be rushing to go public during the financial crisis?

    ¡°These real geniuses have never been fooled.

    Xiao Qi is not a genius, but he has practiced for so many years. How could he sell his hard work cheaply with just a few words?

    Speaking of Bayeux Venture Capital, the largest angel investment company in Europe, it is really visionary and courageous, and the acquisition of coolgame alone is not enough.  We also need to merge Coolgame and Electronic Arts into one big company. This is a big deal that no one has done in the past!

    Europeans are not as bad as Americans, but they also have many smart minds. Bayeux Venture Capital is said to have at least 300 billion euros in funds, and its business involves 31 countries. It is really a giant.

    It¡¯s just that they are here with Xiao Qi.  But he suffered a severe loss. The sexy girl he bought for a lot of money actually lost money and almost lost his pants.

    Of course, now Baye Ventures is just like other investors, thinking that it is not very lucky. Just after buying Cho Sex Girl, it encountered such a serious subprime mortgage crisis. If it were not for the subprime mortgage crisis, Cho Sex  Girl must have been pushed to a market value of 60 billion U.S. dollars by them long ago, and she successfully went public and made money.

    But it¡¯s different now.  Cho Color Girl has been repurchased by Tang Mingxiang 80%, and there has been no big positive move. Instead, the financial crisis is about to break out, so they want to get rid of this burden of losing hundreds of millions of dollars every month as soon as possible.

    On the one hand, they get rid of the burden, and on the other hand, they recycle the waste and exchange it for excellent property for their next investment. What a double benefit.

    The key to doing business is for both parties to reach unity, and Bayeux Investment has a beautiful idea.  But without Xiao Qi's consent, this business would not be possible.

    "I don't agree with their offer." He thought for a moment.  Xiao Qi said: "If they want 40% of the coolgame shares in my hand, then in addition to the previous conditions, they must also give me the 10% of the choro girl shares in Amazon's hand, otherwise there is no need to negotiate this business.  ¡±

    Hoffman was surprised by Xiao Qi¡¯s huge lion¡¯s mouth. He wanted to say that Xiao Qi¡¯s asking price was too high. This calculated to be at least an estimated value of 18 billion US dollars.  Are you a big rip off?

    But in the end, he remained silent. After all, bargaining is not his strong point, and he doesn¡¯t like to struggle with money.

    With the hundreds of millions of dollars he got from selling LinkedIn, plus the shares from these website companies, Huffman has already had enough food and clothing.  What he is pursuing now is to constantly break through himself and build a better company.

    "By the way, you have to invest a little more money on the dreamdjve website." After putting this aside, Hoffman talked about the new company he helped Xiao Qi establish, "Good guy, this network cloud storage  Everything is burning money. In four months, the US$500 million was almost burned. Now in order to build more cloud storage server bases across the United States, they have given a second round of US$500 million. I am waiting for it.  A data report will be sent to your mailbox in a moment, and you can see if there is anything you want to mention."

    Xiao Qi nodded.

    Hoffmann plays the role of a director in DreamDve, and most of the work is done by the founding team of more than 30 people.

    The concept of cloud storage is actually not unfamiliar to Silicon Valley, and there are no special difficulties. Drop Box originally saw Xiao Qi¡¯s cloud storage andIt was made based on the computing concept. Basically, it is just a free mobile network storage space.

    In the beginning, of course, we rely on free services to attract customers. When users feel that the free hard drive space is insufficient, they can start purchasing.

    Especially for corporate customers, these companies are large and small. It takes too much energy and wastes money to set up a cloud storage company by yourself. Directly purchasing the services of a good cloud storage company can save money and avoid repair and maintenance costs.

    This is also the bulk of the profits of cloud storage companies in the future. The hard disk space rented by those super large companies is not enough for several gigabytes or tens of thousands of gigabytes. The data calculated for research and development is so large that it can scare people to death.  .

    When these big customers are attracted, it¡¯s time to start accumulating technology and improving service quality. At that time, more money will be spent.

    DropBo  In other words, a leader in a small or medium-sized company will fall further behind.

    There is no other way. Others have hundreds of billions of dollars in capital at their disposal. They can use the money to kill dropbots anytime and anywhere. However, its own capital is only 500 million U.S. dollars. It is surprising that they can succeed in this kind of unequal competition.

    But Xiao Qi is different.

    Because we don¡¯t know what the response will be like or what the market is like. Others are just trying to get started in this business, and investing tens of millions of dollars is considered too much.

    But now that Xiao Qi knows how big the market will be in the future, is he so stingy that he misses the best opportunity to dominate the entire market from the beginning?

    So, he spent 500 million US dollars from the beginning, and set up servers all over the United States regardless of the cost. In four months, DreamDve grew from scratch, and its scale and momentum directly crushed other cloud storage companies.  In the past, the market share suddenly reached 63%, and it is still growing.

    However, a big deal naturally requires a big investment. The US$500 million is almost consumed in an instant, and burning money can be regarded as a waste of money.

    So much so that the group of technical geeks were too embarrassed to tell Xiao Qi in person. Instead, they turned to Director Hoffman to see if they could apply for more funds.

    After all, Xiao Qi told them when he approached them that he was only afraid that they would not do well and was never afraid of them spending money.

    This money is well spent. The boss shouldn¡¯t be very angry, right?

    Xiao Qi is really not angry, but he still has to check the card when it is time. Those technical nerds are no better than the operating CEO. They use as much money as they have. It is absolutely impossible to know what cost control is. You give 100  Billions of dollars, they dare to build the server in the North Pole!

    It is not an option to always let Hoffman serve as the CEO of this company. It seems that the headhunting company must go to the Fortune 500 to find a CEO who can live a good life.

    On the one hand, we are burning money to gamble on the market, but on the other hand, we need to carry out commercial development at the same time!

    "One more thing, your brother-in-law's Instagram creativity is very good. I think it is better than foursquare's location sharing function. It must have a future." Hoffman sighed: "I now know why you  Sold foursquare! If we take out Instagram now, foursquare will be suppressed immediately.¡±

    "The market segments of the two are different. It's just that Instagram has a wider range of applications than Foursquare." Xiao Qi said: "You say that, as if I am deliberately trying to trick others."

    Hoffman shrugged, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Your brother-in-law asked me to find some technical engineers for him in Silicon Valley to join the Instagram company. I have already found the right people, but I heard that when I go to work in Hong Kong, their salary requirements are very high.  !¡±

    "Then give them a salary increase. As long as they are talented people, money is not an issue." Xiao Qi didn't hesitate at all.

    Now the United States is the center of the world, especially the Internet technology industry. Silicon Valley gathers countless elites from all over the world. If you want them to leave this Feng Shui treasure land and go to a remote place like Hong Kong, you naturally need financial incentives.

    Speaking of Feng Kelun, Xiao Qi still had a headache.

    Although the brother-in-law's attitude is no longer as resistant as before, he is still not close to Xiao Qi, his brother-in-law. Whenever something happens, he will send an email to ask for instructions in a serious manner, and he has never made a phone call.

    But when his wife asked about it, Xiao Qi had to cover up for his brother-in-law to prevent Feng Kexin from being embarrassed in the middle.

    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s due to this guy¡¯s inferiority complex. Maybe when the photo sharing company becomes famous in the world, it will be moreWith increased confidence, he can express himself more freely!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
